A race-record contingent of five supermaxis
A race-record contingent of five supermaxis, four of them previous line honours winners, will contest this year's Sydney to Hobart yacht race from Boxing Day
20 October 2018
Included in the fleet will be the supermaxi quintet of Comanche , Wild Oats XI , InfoTrack, Black Jack and Scallywag.
All those boats bar Scallywag have taken line honours in the race at least once, though some won under a different name.
Hong Kong's Scallywag was the only one of the five not to contest the race last year, though it was third across the line in 2016 and has another third and a second on its record from previous years.
